I've researched several hydration belts, and water bottle leakage seems to be a common complaint. Does anybody have any comments on leakage?

By contrast, this is excellent. I have three belts of other brands, but for many reasons this is the best performance I get.Thanks...!

No problems with leaks during runs here either, up to a half marathon. The only problem is when I first load up my Nuun. I just squeeze it a little to release the pressure and it's fine. Of course, if I let the bottles sit upside down in the car, that's another story.

This is an excellent belt! I run between 13-15 miles on my long runs and have never experience any leaks. Except for the time I put red bull in bottles. The carbonation plus the bouncing made a mess- mea culpa!

I haven't had any leaks and I run from 6 to 8 miles, so that's alot of movement I would think. Didn't leak at all while running....now I wear mine turned around on my hips so it's slightly harder to pull the 8oz out, and if I squeeze to tight and they're full a little comes out. But I think that's my fault and not the product....I fill them to the rim and they don't leak themselves...hope this helps!

No, I have not experienced any leakage. There was one time I had some leakage, but it was because I didn't screw the top on correctly and got it cross threaded. As long as is the lid screwed on properly and snug, there has been no leakage.

The NEW belts (approx. 2014 - 2015) that do NOT have the "pull up" nipple... they do NOT leak. The ones with the pull up nipple (white) weren't so good and they did leak if doing sprints or got knocked over. The new bottles require you to suck out the liquid ... and they have NO pull nipple on them. Love it!!

I use it for yoga classes and mix electrolytes in it and have not had any problems w/leakage. Hope this helps! I LOVE my hydroflask.

Mine is. I've had pretty good luck with these types of bottles. In the past, I had a couple off brand ones that leaked, but even those I think the seal got twisted or loose in the dishwasher and was able to fix. If you're taking it to work, I would just make sure it's totally dry, put my powder in and fill with water/milk once you get to work. Personally, I keep one at work with a bottle of protein mix. Good luck!

The quality is very good, mine does leak when it rains or I wash it. I would look into getting new ones or see if you can get thicker weather stripping.

Hi! If you use it with only two bottles in the front or rear the belt, it works perfectly fine! I personaly bought 2 belts over time (since I got slimmer I had to bought a smaller size) and I used it with only 2 bottles on shorter distance. Good Luck.

Haven't had any issues with leakage. I have one bottle which was accidentally dropped and minus the dent still works well and no leakage

I've used these bottles for all three of my kids. The only time they've leaked is if the rubber piece on the bottom is not on correctly OR the bottom is on too tight causing the rubber piece to shift. I hope this helps you! =)

I have had no problems with leaking, however I do try to avoid submerging it whenever possible... If it gets rained on when taking videos etc or cleaning it with water no problems yet.

Your question got me thinking, so I did a quick test. I filled one up with a bit of water, put the lid in place and tried 1) holding it upside down and 2) jostling and shaking it. The results: I did not see or experience any leakage. Hope this info helps you out!

If you are talking about these specific bottles leaking ,NO.. I have bought three for my household alone and neither one of them leak and I ordered three one goes with me on the road,one is just my work out bottle and the other my husband uses for work and again absolutely No problems with any of them. Then my brother in law seen me with mine and ordered 2 one for him and the other for my sister and they love them and also purchased from the same seller!! Maybe the one you had purchased was just by accident was already damaged somehow.. So there are 5 of these bottles in my family and we love,love,love them!! Give it a second chance you will get a good one! There awesome&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;

On short runs I use two bottles and it's fine. Long runs I use all four. It's a great belt!! Lots if storage for id and phone.

Meghan, normal water bottles are not going to work in this Nathan Hydration Belt. The bottles are designed to fit snugly in both sides of the belt. I usually use one for water and the other for Gatorade. I can get about 11 ounces in each bottle filling right to the top. Best, Tom

I have had mine a few months... do not use it as much as I would like but have had no problems with leakage. Hopefully it will last a good, long time, but I have not had mine long enough to know.

I wear the pack with the snap in the back so the water bottles are in front (easy to get to). They dont leak - even when running and getting bounced around. Really nice.

I agree with Suzers45, it is a snug fit around the top. No pain involved, but I wouldn't want to wear it for an extended period. I had no problems with water leaking.

I have not tried but with those 2 bottles you will be fine for almost every running distance and the quality of this belt is very good and comfortable.
